The problem here is that Unix stores it time in GMT regardless of the local
time - EDT5EST etc just tell the time printing software how to display it.
The MacOS stores its internal time as local time so you have to change it
when DST comes along - there is a magic number which you can set in SASH
to set the difference between local time and GMT - of course this changes when
DST comes in .....
